Jerusalem (CNN) -- A controversial Facebook page calling for another Palestinian intifada appears to have been pulled off the social media website, following complaints from the Israeli government that it incited violence against Jews.
Company officials could not immediately be reached for comment, but the group page entitled the "Third Palestinian Intifada" -- which had garnered more than 350,000 "likes" over the course of the past month -- was no longer available on the Facebook website Tuesday. A few other identically named pages have popped up since then, some with the same messages the previous page had.
The page's removal follows heavy criticism from the Israeli government and pro-Israel organizations that Facebook was ignoring its own terms-of-service guidelines, which prohibit the posting of content that is "hateful, threatening, or... incites violence."
